Fairly certain it's the SkinInfo.xml file, but I don't know where the error is.

It says it isn't a valid skin pack which it wouldn't know if it was a UI file until it loaded at next restart

If there is a syntax error in the SkinInfo, then the skin doesn't even appear in the preferences panel.I'll take a look at it

went through skininfo and i found the problem, when jason coded in the specifics for each resgroup he also prefixed every resgroup with a universal resgroup, i deleted all the duplicate universal resgroups but what i did without realising is just after </ResGroup> i then had a opening restrictions tag from a partially deleted universal resgroup that id missed this caused that resgroup to read incorrectly thus invalidating the skin.

its fixed and now works.
